Special Needs Care Jobs in Sherwood Park

I have a 5 year old grandson that has ADHD and daycares or a dayhome is not working

Hi! I am Sheila, a working, single parent of a delightful 3 yr old daughter and wonderful 6 yr old son. My children are with me 50% of the time so days throughout the month would vary. I am looking for a occasional childcare on weekends and evenings. I require a provider who has their own transportation (sorry, I can't leave the house to pick you up) and has atleast 2 years of experience caring for/teaching children with disabilities. My 6 yr old son has high functioning ADHD and ASD and is full of energy (and focus when he's captivated by an activity). I need you to be energetic and observant and engage with my children (inside and outside the house). If care was required for a period longer than 2 hours I would require simple meal preparation for snacks/lunches/dinners. A provider who is comfortable asssisting young children at dinner/bedtime would be ideal. I am a registered nurse and work full time, so I expect any provider I hire to have a current (within 6 months) criminal record check with vulnerable sector included. I can offer a fair market wage (negotiable based on experience). I look forward to connecting with specialized care providers in the area. Please reach out if this describes you!

Will need someone that can come provide child care while he is at work, has shift work as a firefighter. Lives outside sherwood park. Hours will vary but can provide a schedule in advance of when care is required. Full care required.

Looking for 2 positions in 1! Disclaimer: this position involves working with transgender teenagers. Those who have strong religious or moral opposition to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community should NOT apply. I need some help around the house! I have some health challenges due to post-COVID and a head injury. I also have kids that struggle with autism, ADHD, and chronic pain issues. None of us are good with chores! We also have dogs that add to the mess in the home, luckily they love us and we love them back! I'm also looking for a “friend” respite worker to help my teen get out in the world, take care of their own needs (chores, meals, et ), and be there in case of emergency. This kid is socially active, volunteering in downtown Edmonton and on Pride Corner, and needs some help to get out of the house and to and from appointments. They are super smart and are fun to have a conversation with. They cope with PTSD and mobility and pain challenges. Your duties would not involve much, if any, medical care. Applicant needs to have reliable transportation, be comfortable with dogs, and have a positive attitude towards volunteering and social activism. Home base is in Sherwood Park, but when taking kids out of house mileage is paid. Ideally I would like someone to come in the afternoons at least 4 days a week, and then a few evenings to help my kid get to their volunteer work. The pay is $17/hr but some perks could be negotiated.

I am a single stay at home parent of the cutest little guy. I am looking for someone to help with him so I can attend appointmens for myself, shop, catch up on paperwork etc. He does have an OT a PT and a Speech Therapist so there will be some play exercises to work with him on to keep him occupied up to 15 hours per week

We do not have fscd. Up until 8 months ago, he was doing great. I think I might just need a few days to catch my breath and look after my own mental health needs. I am still not sure I want to do this as I do not want to hurt the attachment but I am struggling. If I did this, I would need it to be outside of our home. We would have to pay privately as we don’t have fscd so price might be an issue. We shall see.
